The German company Shopware has more than 20 years of experience in the e-commerce world. With this experience, they have come up with many solutions for both B2B and B2C e-commerce companies. All experience is combined in the latest Shopware 6 platform, an API first open source platform with which you can create a webshop. Shopware's API-first design gives you complete flexibility over your webshop and you choose which programs you integrate with. You can host your webshop yourself or have it done in the Shopware cloud. In short, with Shopware you go for ultra-modern functionalities in a user-friendly environment. This naturally fits in well with ProductFlow and so we have fully integrated Shopware into the ProductFlow platform. You can read more on this page.

Shopware 6 integration

The Shopware 6 connection offers full support of options from ProductFlow, consisting of 'content', 'offers', 'orders', 'shipments' and 'notifications'.

Content
Thanks to the content link, it is easy to add your product content in ProductFlow in Shopware. ProductFlow retrieves your Shopware data model per category. This allows you to see specifically per category which fields are required for Shopware. The Shopware connection supports the new family classifications within ProductFlow. This creates a parent item, with the actual items underneath.

The link also supports three types of fields that Shopware offers:
-    General fields: These are the standard Shopware fields, such as item number, EAN, title, description, images.
-    Properties (based on categories): These are characteristics of a product that can be used for variations (such as color and size) and filters.
-    Custom fields: Do the standard Shopware fields not offer sufficient options? It is then also possible to add new fields.

Offers
Thanks to the offer link, it is possible to easily launch products or take them offline again from the website. Do you activate the offering link? The product in question will then be put live on the website. When the offering is turned off again, the product will be placed offline.

In addition, the offering link supports all the options we are used to from ProductFlow:
-    Standard recommended retail price
-    Discount based on the difference between the 'base price' and 'sell price'
-    Discount based on ProductFlow's discount module

Orders
Thanks to the order link with ProductFlow, it is possible to enter orders from Shopware into ProductFlow.

Shipments
Thanks to the shipment link, the 'shipment' of orders that have been shipped is reported back to Shopware. This allows an email to be sent from Shopware that the order has been shipped. It is also possible to link the Track & Trace back to Shopware. In this way, the T&T can be added in the email to the customer and shown when placing the order in the customer's account.

Notifications
Is there an error somewhere? A notification will then be returned to ProductFlow with an explanation of what went wrong.
